By the last news it appears that
Guatemala is, for however long,
under reform rule, and is eagerly
seeking closer commercial relations
with the United States. Among other
things the Guatemalans want to get
their sugar and coffee into the States
under reduced duties. Mr. Forsyth,
who Is now under engagement by the
Hawaiian Government to promote
the culture Of cinchOna on these
Islands. was Just before coming here
employed in an extensive enterprise
of the same kind in Guatemala. He
was present in that country during
the revolution in which President
Barillas proclaimed himself dictator.
The somewhat lengthy despatch,
from which our news paragraph about
Guatemala is culled, represents the
Minister of that country In Wash
ington as saying that so far all seems
peaceful and bloodless, but the cru
cial period will be when the constitu-
tional convention meets in October
next. The dictatorship was demanded
by the people almost unanimously,
and it has been recognized by the
representatives of all governments
except that of Mexico The Mexican
Government refused to accept or
acknowledge the dictator, has with
drawn its diplomatic representative
from the capital, and is now concen-
trating troops on the frontier Ha-

of Guatemala to secure d sound and
stable government with the develop
ment of internal resources.

THERE is likely to be published
shortly, in some form OF other. very
clear and comprehensive reports by
Mr. H. T. Poor, Secretary to the Ha-
waiian Mission TO Samoa, upon DOS
sible trade relations for development
between these Islands and that coun-
try. Many people, who condemned
the costly, clumsy and estentatious
nature of the Gibson administrations
attempt to carry out a Hawaiian
policy in the South Pacific, were sen
sible all the while that there might be
a common-sense, commercial scheme
worked up in that direction at a frac-
iion Of the outlay required for the
naval and diplomatic burlesque that
has only made this Kingdom ridicu-
lous.
If it was necessary that a political
alliance should precede a CONNER
cial compact between the two coun-
tries, and if, as was represented, the
Great Powers had signified approval
of the Hawaiian Government con
ferring its nominally liberal instltu-
tions upon Samoa, then there was
great laundering committed in the
attempt Of the Hawaiian Government
to carry out such a policy. The
scheme should have been pressed first
at Washington, London and Paris, if
not at Berlin. It appears, however,

Tar foreign mail brings some inter
esting news regarding the dealings
Of the great Powers with Polynesian
communities. From the San Fran
cisco ClroatcJe the following is learned
regarding action taken by Germany in
Samoa That paper in this connection
cites Article V Of the Treaty of 1878
between England, Germany and the
United States in reference to these
islands, which provides that, in the
event of the Government of Samoa
being at any time in difficulties with
a Power in amity with the United
States, the Samoan Government then
reserves to itself the right of claiming
the protection of the American flag.
This is the information referred to,
viz: +" A recent despatch from Mel
bourne states that the commander of
the German squadron had deman-
ded a heavy fine from the King
of Samoa, which the King, Malietoa,
had refused to pay The British
and American Consuls issued a pro
clamation advising submission for the
present, but declaring their Govern
ments would not recognize Tamasese
as King. 1t would seem that the
Germans have landed troops, as the
despatch states that the commander

ity of Apia, if the troops are not mo-
lested" The CAroHtele cites the Mon
roe doctrine and hints, in the event
of Europe not keeping 'hands off"
where not wanted in the Pacific, that
a confederation may be formed "of
the three Americas North, Central.
and Southland the formulation of
an absolute rule that no European
Power should be permitted to extend
its authority to the islands of the
Pacific"
Another important item of recent
developments in Pacific affairs is that
Great Britain has concluded treaty
with the King of the Tonga Islands.
under which that monarch will cede
nothing to foreign power without
the assent of England A Washing
ton despatch says that not only is the

for Germany, as the Tonga Islands
had been considered a promising field
for German enterprise, but it has
deeply chagrined the American State
Department officials. Realizing the
commercial advantages the State
Department last year concluded
treaty with King George Of Tonga,
bywhich diplomatic and consular rela-
tions were to be established between
the islands and the United States
As Congress. however. refused to
make any appropriation for the
service, the department could dc
nothing but let the treaty slumber in
its archives. 1T was the intention Of

ANOTHER CENSUS.

A fOrcible illustration of the wonder
full growth of this country is to be found
in the fact that preparations are being
made for taking the census of 1890, al
though the publications of the 1880 cen
suS are not yet completed. But few
people are aware OF the enormous mass
of information that in the preparation
of census report must be gathered
and digeSted. The average person who
gives the matter any thought at all is
inclined to think that the mere count
ing of noses is the only work of census
taking.
As matter of fact it is the smallest
and least important department. AL
most everything having any cOnceiva-
bic connection with the cOuntry'S prog
ress is set forth, and the work is con-
seQuently an exceedingly laboriOus one.
1t has been very much hampered in the
past by inadequate facilities consequent
upon limited appropriations. and while
the best possible use has been made of
the means at the disposal of the chief
Of the census it iSpOSsible to accomplish
better results. There should be organ
lied permanent census department by
which synopses of the work, as it pro-
crossed, should be issued to the press
for information of the people.
The long delayed census reports
when they do appear are entirely too
bulky for general distribution and are
practically valuable only for reference.
The task of census taking is an endless
one. and the best results would there
fore be attained by giving the bureau
to which the work is entrusted a per
manent status.

WHERE HE LIVES.

Some of our contemporaries seem to
be very much disturbed as to the actual
residence of GROVER CLEVELAND.
by the grace of the people now preSi-
dent of the United States. 1t is claimed
that he has forfeited his residence in
Buffalo. never acquired residence in AL
bany and is merely temporarily sOjOurn-
ing in Washington. In fact. they have
about decided that, legally, he lives no
where at all.
There does not seem to be any Occa-
sion for the mental strain which the
editors of these journals are undergo
ing because of this perpleXing question.
Most people are content TO deal with the
present, and looking at the matter from
that standpoint, recent publications
have shown that Mr.. CLEVELAND is
very much at home in the White house,
Washington, ID. G.
But if they desire to look into the
future little our editorial friends could
not have failed to notice that there is a
rapidly growing popular impression to
tile effect that Mr.. CLEVELAND will
also be at home in the White house for
four years more. That ought to be
enough for all practical purposes. A
good many people. particularly about
election time, decide the question of
residence after several days sojourn in
a given place; and certainly, then, eight
years occupancy of the White house
ought to determine Mr.. CLEvELAND'S
abode pretty definitely.
As to the matter of a vote not accom-
panying district residence, like RIP
VAN WINKLE'S glass of something
warm ''this doesn't count" If he had
vote would not courtesy to an opposing
candidate induce him to either vote for
Mr.. BLAINE or else refrain from voting
at all in the next election? And the
gain or loss of one vote will make no
difference in the Maine candidates
chances.
1t will require good many thousand
impossible votes to enable Mr.. BLAINE
to have ghost of show. and he can't
get them. Therefore in considering the
question of Mr.. CLEVELAND'S resi-
de nee, let us call it, for the next four
years at least, Washington. ID. c., and
thus settle the YeXed question.

PERSISTENT PIATT.

We extend to that distinguished Min
nesotian, Col. PLATT WALKER. the as
surance of our admiration of his per
sistence and pluck. But short time
since the genial colonel was q candidate
for d0Orkeepcr of the house of repre-
sentatiyes. He did not succeed in at
tanning the summit of his ambition. In
fact, he did not get a vote.
Another man would have been dis
cOuraged by the apparent Illustration
of his hopes. Not so the plucly PLATT.
He has marshaled his routed forces and
returned again to battle. This time
success has crowned his efforts, and The
successful candidate for dOorkeeper has
gracefully recognized the Minnesotian's
energy and influence by appointing him
an assistant. Half loaf is prOverbiallv
better than no bread, and Col. WALKER
shares the opinion.
He will not have so much glory in the
assistants position as he would had he
captured the chief place, but a grateful
government will appreciate his services
to the extent of very liberal salary,
and will not be too eXacting in the mat
ter OF work. Perseverance Is a very
valuable quality, and Col. PIATT has
given striking Illustration of it.

Again beside my lover in wood
Where shining linden Leaves the ground be-

And searching there, my true love gathered
three: -
For love" he said, for love-and thee and
me.
To keep this golden day in memory
And as he searched the linden leaves among
All tenderly he sang this olden song,
Whose words unto the melody belong:
"And the linden leans above me
Till think some things there be
In this dreary world that love me
Even me-even me"
And as he sang, and looked for leaves the
while
His eyes sought mine with arch and tender
smile
What joy can Ger again my heart beguile--
Since death has done TO me this cruel wrong,
Has hushed the heating of heart so stron.
And silenccd evermore the voice of song,
o precious leaves: For love and thee and
me-
Amid the pages old they sill may be
But seeing them. again seem to see
The loving fuce: the far-off day seems near:
The voice loved again in song is clear
And once again these old-tine words hear:
And the linden leans above me

In this dreary world that love me
Even me-eyen me- Patty Cary.

many instances, too, the property own
erS suppose they have complied with the
law by hiring men and boys to clean the
sidewalks in front of their premises.
The street laborers come along and
some cranky boss takes it in his head
that the cleaning was not done as
thoroughly as it ought to have
been done and sets his men TO work on
it again, while perhaps right in sight of
him are lots and whole blocks where no
effort has been made to clear away the
SNOW, and yet he passes that by. This
is no Imaginary case, for the exact 10
calitieS where such things have oc-
Cured can be pointed out. Another
ground of complaint is that the wooden
sidewalks are in most instances injured
and in some completely ruined by the
carelesSneSS of the wOrkmen engaged
in cleaning the streets. They fall to
work pounding the boards With their
heavy picks and matt0ckS, bruiSing,
splitting and breaking the boards to
pieces without considering that the lay
ing of these wooden sidewalks has
already been a heavy expense to the
property owner, and will be another
heavy expense to him to replace them.
These are facts, and in the face of such
facts it is no wonder that the property
holders are grumbling. They wouldn't
be human if they didn't growl.
1t is in no spirit of captious criticism
that the GLOBE has alluded to this mat
ter. but it has done so in the hope that
the authorities may see the necessity
for organizing some system which will
accomplish the purposes of the law re-
curing the sidewalks to be cleaned
without being oppressive or unjust to
the public. The GLOBE recognizes the
difficulty in adjusting system to cover
such vast area as is included within
the city limits. 1t also recognizes the
injustice of the law in imposing the
OnerOus duty of carrying the law into
effect upon an official who already has
as much work Oh hand as one man can
take care of. The work of keeping the
sidewalks clean in the winter time is of
sufficient imports nce to require the en-
tire time of one competent official to
supervise it, and he should see that it
is done in a way that would not impose
any unnecessary hardship on the prop

CLEANING THE SIDEWALKS.

The new city law providing for the
cleaning of sidewalks in winter is likely
tO'prOye as unsatisfactory in its operation
as was the street sprinkling ordinance
last summer. The two chief grounds of
complaint are the costlinesS of the plan
and the utter lack of anything like a
system for carrying it into effect. The
law gives the property holder the option
of cleaning the sidewalks in front of his
premises, and in case it is not done
within twenty-fOur hours from the time
the snow falls or the ice forms, then it
is made imperative upon the city en-
gineer to have the work done and the
cost assessed against the property. 1t
is but just TO the city engineer to
say in the beginning that he
has had not the opportunity to
put into effect a systematic plan for
sidewalk cleaning, nor has he had the
available means at his disposal to ac
cOmpliSh what the law contemplates.
The result is that work done in this
way has been of the most unsatisfac-
tory character. In the first place a gang
of wOrkmen 90 on street. and instead
of clearing away the SNOW and ice from
the sidewalks the entire length of the
street they will clean here and skip
there until there isn't a street in the
city but which presents a patched sort
of an appearance. For illustration, the
sidewalk in front of AS property will
be cleaned by the force of WOrkmen en-
ployed by the city engineer,
while the sidewalk in front
of his neighbOr BIS property
is untouched. The result is that A pays
heavy assessment for work which is
absolutely of no account to him or to
any one else who passes along that
street, because if the Snow and ice are to
be left in spots on one-half of the street
it may as well be left Oh all of it. The
point is, if gang of laborers are put to
work cleaning any certain street they
ought to make clean job of it. in
